@1ff happened to me too. Was a nightmare but ultimately got it resolved by appealing. Hospital was very aggressive and tried to send me to collections. I needed the company to get involved. I’m glad to see this policy as it would help us as we have no control over what doctor we are in the hospital.
@27e - I had a similar situation with a family member. Had no control over the provider being nonpartisan at pat hospital. I appealed it and the company ended up paying the claim. Keep on them to do what is right for you, the member. Good luck.
@j9 you make a good point but come to the wrong conclusion. I just got a bill from a hospital that used an out of network doctor. It is outrageous. The company needs to take a stand
And hold them accountable for the outrageous bills and charges. It’s fraud and abuse. Thousands of dollars for someone who spent literally minutes with me. I didn’t ask for an out of network doctor and didn’t want one. Now the hospital is trying to collect when they aren’t supposed to. It’s outrageous. I think the company needs to do more of this.
@j9 HER company shares were sold at insainely high market value. Now THE company’s shares are tanked. Insider trading anyone
@1dn whole industry su-ks. From what I know of employees at this company you are all complainers. Work at one of your competitors and see what it’s really like More of you would lose your jobs.
She has destroyed this company, time for her to destroy another organization.
@15a go work somewhere else. Why are you even at the company.
@15s agree! If you hate it so
Much get another job and do the rest of us a favor. I have a solid manager and see a lot we could improve, however the complainers just need to go. I don’t like everything about the company but in this environment am happy to have my job. If I get to that place of negativity I plan to leave as the only person the negativity hurts is you. My advice is to take control of your happiness.
@15a then leave. Why do you stay there. Time to move on
Does playing college basketball qualify her to run the WNBA? Not sure. Yes, she can run a big corporation (into the ground), but she’s been removed from basketball for a while now. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if she did take the job though.
@j9 Makes me detest this dump of an organization more than I do now.
@13z I couldn’t but heard he was bad and didn’t say anything
@zk agreed. Did you watch the town hall?
Nominated for the WNBA? or the PRC?
@mc two watch will be a nightmare can’t run what he has
Thoughts & Prayers
Let's hope so, she's pretty much run the company into the ground. How many more people are going to lose their jobs because of her?
Nice transition for when Pete takes over
@jm fair point for every ceo in this sector . Stock is down more like 13% this year, United down 37% and centennial Down in mid 30% so maybe poster was confused
@jg i don't know I thought this part was relevant how is this new strategy political
If she can’t demonstrate that she’s getting Elevance back on track to profitable growth, she’ll be out of a job soon.
@j9 irrelevant to this conversation. Political troll
Anthem is imposing a new policy with a 10% penalty on hospital claims when an out-of-network provider is involved in patient care, effective January 1, 2026, in several states. The penalty, which also includes the potential for network termination for hospitals, is intended to encourage hospitals to ensure all providers are in-network and is currently facing opposition from medical societies. The policy may indirectly impact independent physicians, like anesthesiologists, by pressuring hospitals to require them to join the Anthem network under potentially unfavorable terms, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Anthem, which is owned by the for-profit corporation Elevance Health Inc., has notified hospitals in 11 of the 14 states where it operates that starting in January it will slash reimbursements by 10% every time a doctor who works in the hospital – but who is not in Anthem’s network – provides care to a patient enrolled in an Anthem health plan.
Here it is: Because of the control Wall Street now has over the health insurance industry, Boudreaux is likely less concerned about physician autonomy than what investors think and want, and she is under the g-n to get back into their good graces in a matter of months. Her company’s shares have lost a third of their value since the first of this year. If she can’t demonstrate that she’s getting Elevance back on track to profitable growth, she’ll be out of a job soon.
She's 100% leaving. She's 65. The only question is when, and how much worse her successor will be.
Let’s hope Adam Silver agrees.
I hope this is true.
One can hope. Fingers crossed.
